CD - Recoil - subHuman (MUSDJ211-2) USA - Promo, Advancd CD



Recoil is the current musical project of former Depeche Mode member Alan Wilder. Essentially a solo venture, Recoil began whilst Wilder was still in Depeche Mode, as an outlet for his experimental, less pop-oriented compositions. Once he announced his departure from the group in 1995, Recoil was transformed from a small side-project, into Wilder's primary musical enterprise.

On April 22, 2007, Wilder released a statement on his MySpace page that the new album would be entitled subHuman and has been provisionally set for release on July 9th, 2007. Included as guest vocalists this time are Carla Trevaskis and Joe Richardson, the latter will also deliver the vocals for a track titled "Prey" which is believed to feature on the first single taken from "subHuman". A sample from the song was also put on Recoil's MySpace page. 2007 also saw the re-release of Bloodline (originally released in 1991) and Hydrology Plus 1+2 (originally released in 1988).

Out on June 27th via iTunes and related download portals is "Prey", the newest single from Recoil. iTunes also prepared a special Recoil pack (similar to the Depeche Mode iTunes pack) holding all Recoil releases. It will be the first time that all the Recoil material is available via iTunes. The packet doesn't hold exclusives but does come in the DRM free high download quality version.

A special download-only remix of subHuman track "Killing Ground" by The Slips was released on October 1, 2007 (2007-10-01) on The Slips' MySpace page. The news also got out Alan Wilder was to start work on a new album pretty soon.
